The exercises commenced at a few minutes

Rev. 0. H.. Wright; then read in ,audible
• oice and impressive tone, the following
sCripture: •
The lord reigneth. The floods have lifted
up their voice. The Lord on high is might-
ier than the voice of many waters. Clouds
and darkness are round about Him, right
ooziness andjudgment are the habitation of
His throne. By Him kings reign and prihces
decree justice. He changeth the time "and
the seasons. Ho removeth kings and sotteth

e powers that be are .ordained of God.
Whosoever, therefore, resisteth the pole
resisteth the ordinances of God, and they that
resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

"For a small moment hive i I forsaken thee;

Jacob died and was gathered unto his pea

and there went up with them both chariots

pany. And when the inhabitants of the lands
saw the mourning they ssid. This is a griev-
.na warning to thee. nd they •did unto
him according - as he Lila commanded
them: For they earned imolhe land of
anaan and buried' hire in the cave of the
field of Macphelsh, which Abraham bought
for a possession as at burying place. And I
heard a voice from heairen ssying unto me.

Wherefore, comfort one another. with these
words: "Faithful is he that catleth you, who

Hon. Edward Overton, ex-member or Con
gress delivered the 'following address:
was told, Mr. President, Ladies and Gen
tlemen, I was expected to say a few words on
this occasion because L was personally ac
quainted with the man whose death has fille.
this land with breathless darkness and sitd
dened the hearts of fifty millions of people.
e deiitfy at any time, in the ordinary course
of nature of the Chief lifagistrate of .the na
tion would bea calamity, were there nothing
in his character to distinguish him, fro..
honsands of his fellow citizens. But, When
one who appeared, to have ben raised up b
Providence for a particular work. which ho o
all men was best fitted to perform 'and upon
the successful completion of which seemed
to depend the prosperity and welfare of our
'OMMOD country, is slain by the assassin's
ballet—the death of such t a man in the f
vigor of life, who as the Executive of the nue
tion haslest entered upon so important a
work, sends a thrill of sorrow to every • ki -
tad- horrifies all mankind. A man -pose
-inga- giant intellect, tare knowledge, great
trength of purpose and an Invincible will,
united to an eminently judicial mind and a
heart so large that none knew him to
love him, bad been chosen by the suffrages of
the people to administer the government
and had just fairly entered upon his work
its universal approvak—one of whom I, be
'eve the verdict of time will be that he was
the greatest man America haS produced.
Was it strange that high expectations were
formed. which have been suddenly dashed?
•,,ledged to a system which would "meet the
danger of illiteracy by the saving influence
f universal education;" which would drive
from our land the survivor of the twin relics
barbarism; which would piotect the hum
blest citizen in all - his rights and bring &boa
a spirit of reconciliation and fraternity. he
ad entered upon his administration. He
was well prepared to do this work. He hid
pent eighteen active years in the balls o
.nr nationallegialature, was known by a U the
eading men of our country. His ability, h
integrity, his indelible justice were all con
• eded. Those opposed to him politically had
seen him stand - as.a bulwark between the
surging forces on the floor of Congress
,and
old in check both parties, Bach a man was
' esident of these United States. He pos-
ssed.genins with none of. the weaknesses
which so often accompany it. No particular
acuity had been developed at the expense of
• there. He was great in many things •and
1. ad at the same time good common sense.
Ho retained the confidence of the people in
•1 parts of our land. • and bad he lived • the
lose of his smeisi term would have seen the
end of sectional parties and the beginning of
era ,of pekce and . goo d fellowship. -His
voice. "to the genii, give up J and to :the

ceded. He would have:: found a comm..
ground upon which the citizen of hk .. -
chusetts and the citizen of South (Wins,
pon which the late slave-holder and the
.• eedman could have planted themselves with
their rights secured. And now all this
work soAttspicionsly begun has stopped, and
espondency and gloom fills our land.

.m the applauding thousands to imprint a
first upon the 'trembling lips of his grand
.14 mother and then u ,• those of Tie noble
loving wife; this sincere. 'exhibition ci
true affection, bespoke the sublime character
f the man and left its favorable impress up
. n the minds of an httudred thousand Id
eases. The little glimpses of his home life,
deal in its harmony and perfection, and the
wit/ and honesty of his purposes exhibited
n his official life, showed that he was neithe
; hypocrite in religion nor a demagogue in
politics. The elevation of mankind, the
good of his country and the conscientious
"scharge of his obligations to his God, were
the governing principles of his life. These
haracteristics were emanations of the higher
nd nobler attributes, almost divine, and
have, through him blessed the country with
their benign influences. As long as American

the light of his examples in the performance
f the'the - unties and obligations of life.
These are but simple words, but they con
vey to the understanding a glimpse of the
'fe of the noblest, specimen of American
manhood this country ever produced. Bung'
ling • up from' the depths of poverty, hd
omonstrated in his career, by force of his
own energy the possibilities to be achieved
through 'wen directed efforts by American
oath. He conquered poverty and all' the
barriers that poverty places in the way o
ambition, and while his eminent qualities
were yet unfolding and being developed; be
fought his way upward to the highest renown.

ven in the death of the Priaident and under
he dark clouds of mourning and sorrow. be
neath their silver linings, there remains tht
ndest andnoblest; government God ever
bestowed upOn a nation. Even the illus
trious deal himself whom the nation mourns
to-day, becomes a fitting emblem of the eim
•licity and intellige ace of that form of gov
ernment conceived by our Ffigrim Fathers,
n amid the hardships of the American
evolution, arid nursed in the cradle of that
"berty.and equality, which to-day is upheld
by fifty, millions of people: - To the genius of
..ur histitutions the nation's dead owed his
.! • atztesi,and
s kis honors. They looked in

pon the the humble home of a widow, ob
&Cure and penniless; invited her orphaned
son to look upward and onwkrd; and. for half
century set their beacon lights along the
pathwaypf this youth of destiny, and illumi
ted the progress of his career from the do
mestic fire-side to the highest worldly hon
ors beneath the canopy of heaven. James A.
Garfield had reachd the temple of fame . ; his
casino was full. His country, and her in-
Mations had no higher honors to bestow,
than it fell to his lot to enjoy. In the words
f nuerringtistoky, for him to die was gain.

"There is a divinity which shapes our ends,
Bough hew them as we mriy."
And in the vislint and tragic death of the
President the world is taught a sublime les
son. Monarchisti who preuicted, from the
ing of the, patriot guns on Boston Common,
to the crushing out of the late rebellion, that
the days of this republic were numbered—
y now behold, and must acknowledge how
the basis of that government
nut be, which rests upon the will of a free
